Field note guidelines
- Only report what you saw yourself, and say when you were there.
- Respect residents: no photos of people’s windows, no trespassing, no door-knocking.
- Access changes need a detail we can check, like a sign, an opening time or a fee.
- Upload your own photos only. We credit every image with your handle.
